The bill would guide and coordinate U.S. efforts to strengthen ties with Taiwan. It calls for a federal task force, greater support for Taiwan’s participation in international groups and security forums, and talks toward a trade agreement. It also calls for reports on military deterrence in the Taiwan Strait and efforts to counter Chinese influence operations. The bill says U.S. agencies should not recognize China’s claims to sovereignty over Taiwan without the assent of Taiwan’s people, while stating that this would not restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
The bill does not create individual services or requirements. It would direct federal agencies to coordinate Taiwan-related work, invite Taiwan representatives to certain forums and exercises, and prepare reports and strategies.
